BAG.

Application filed. July 20, 1922. Serial No. 576,287.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, DAVIDTRAUM, 'a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Bag, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to ladies hand bags, pocketbooks and the like and has for an object to provide an improved pattern and bag wherein a beaded structure is presented which is very inexpensive but which presents a very pleasing appearance.

Another object of the invention is to provide a bag formed from a pattern arranged to be easily and quickly worked to convert the same into a. beaded structure.

A still further objectof the invention is to provide a stamped set "of blanks formed with indicating lines for guiding a work man in applying beads to the blank so as to present the appearance of a woven structure when the heads have all been applied.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is an elevation of a partially 7 completed bag disclosing an embodiment of and o the invention; Figure 2 is a plan view of a sheet of cloth with blanks stamped thereon.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates a strip of cloth of any desired material and 2 and 3 the blanks stamped or outlined thereon. These blanks are identical in construction so that the description of one will apply to both. The blank 3 is provided with any desired number of vertical rows 4 and 5 of dots, there being the same number of dots in each row and the dots being in the same horizontal plane so that when the beads 6 are applied thereto they will be arranged horizontally when the bag is held vertically.

7 It will be noted that the rows of dots at diverge from the top toward the bottom so that, when the blank is properly worked with the beads 6, the rows of horizontal beads at the bottom of the bag will be longer than at the top. In order to guide a workman in applying the heads, a number of brackets '7 are provided and adjacent each bracket are indications 8 for indicatthe number of beads to be applied. For lnstance, the live lower dots of each pair of rows are to be provided with six beads. The second bracket from the bottom indicates that five beads are to be strung on the thread and so on up to the top where only two heads are strung on the thread. It will be noted that the thread extends, for i11- stance, upwardly through one of the dots on the row 5, through the respective beads and then downwardly through the opposite dot on the row 4. This thread is then brought back up through one of the dots on the row 1 and the desired number of beads threaded thereon after which it is passed through the opposite dot on row 5 and so on until the vertical row 9 of beads has been provided. The various vertical rows of beads 9 as indicated in Figure 1 taper from the bottom to the top and give a distinctive appearance which at a distance simulates closely the usual construction of knitted beaded bags now found on the market.

The two blanks 3 and 4% shown in Figure 2 may be cut outand stitched together for forming the bag either before or after the heads have been applied and also the frame of the bag may be applied either before or after the beads have been applied though preferably the beads are applied first.

What I claim is 1. A bag, comprising a body of cloth, and a partial covering of beads mounted on threads and arranged in vertical and horizontal rows, the vertical rows tapering from the bottom to the top.

2. A beaded bag, comprising a body havin g a. plurality of rows of dots arranged in pairs thereon for indicating the position of beads, indicating means arranged at one side at said rows indicating the number of beads at the various sections of said rows, a bead arranged on each of said dots, and a. single retaining thread extending through all of the beads on a single row for holding the beads on said dots.
